Change for a Quarter

These rings are transformed from ordinary pocket change into an altered state. Commemorative state quarters are punched out and then re-worked into these richly detailed rings. The rings are then silver plated, which gives them an added patina. A unique way to display your local pride, you can request the state quarter of your choice, and its name and statehood year are visible on the outer surface. Because the quarters were only minted for ten weeks each, choice of issuance year is not available. Handmade in California.

We think Clyde Austin's ring design is right on the money. Would you wear your state proudly around your finger?

I've actually had a ring like this before from a different company and wore it until you could no longer tell it was a coin (7 years)! It makes an amazing gift and was always a great conversation piece!

RobertaVote: Thumbs up!

A great idea, well priced and something I would wear all the time.

KarinVote: Thumbs up!

I love these! Would totally wear them- I also like that you can see the states and the year- it could easily become a good anniversary gift.

Jordan

I love the concept, however, the price point is ridiculous, I would pay around $25- 30 for this item.

AngelaVote: Thumbs up!

but only if i could choose state and year

ChristyVote: Thumbs up!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! We're glad to see these rings getting some attention. Please keep in mind that although they are made of real quarters, they are silver plated (to increase shine and protect against nickel metal allergies). The price factors in the cost of silver as well as the time and effort it takes to handcraft each ring.

heck yea!

BethanyVote: Thumbs up!

Love it! Unique and a great way to show off home state pride! The price is a little high for me, however I understand why it is where it is. I would ask my family to buy me this for Christmas!

MollyVote: Thumbs up!

Please start selling these! I will buy some for sure!

KirstenVote: Thumbs up!

Great concept!

LindaVote: Thumbs up!

Great idea. I think that these rings will be very popular.

LaceyVote: Thumbs up!

very clever!

EliseVote: Thumbs up!

I really love some of the state quarters but haven't seen much point in collecting them. I think this would be a much cooler way to commemorate a state of importance to me.

Colleen

Totally cool! I want one! :D

Vito

This is an illegal item. This is defacing the US mint coins, and criminal charges can be made to whoever is responsible for this.

Lynn

Dear Vito : this is only illegal if it is represented as legal tender which this is not, nor is it represented as a usable coin. People have been making tie tacs, charms, rings such as this and other items of jewelry for years.

Barbara

We used to make these when I was a kid. I think the cost is high, but I like the idea.

Ryann

Would love to have this to my man

Ingrid

Like it,but I believe it is illegal to deface us currency?

Gayle

Yea - this is pretty neat - especially for a guy - price is right, too. I'd probably buy this for my son (28 years old). He might get a kick out of it!
